"The VFCC Fitness Training Certificate Program is comprehensive and challenging. The information is comparable to what you’d expect in a course at a college or university.  What’s more, the course is 'taught' by an impressive roster of fitness professionals, some of whom are well known throughout the fitness industry. Having been employed in the fitness industry at the collegiate level since 1983, it’s my professional opinion that VFCC has developed a highly reputable certification program and I would recommend it to anyone in fitness." - Matt Brzycki,  Asst. Director of Campus Recreation at Princeton University and Part-Time Lecturer Department of Exercise Science and Sport Studies at Rutgers University and USMC Veteran

Chris, thanks so much. I really believe in what you're doing, and I'll continue to put the VFCC name out to all of our Cadets and veteran affiliates in any way that I can. If I wasn't on a long-term active duty contract, I would seriously consider your program myself. Again thank you for your past service and present service. Respectfully, -Courtney A. Morris 2LT, USAROTC Gold Bar Recruiter The University of Texas at Arlington

"VFCC has an awesome fitness training program.  I have recommended it to many veterans through my work with Swords to Plowshares and Vietnam Veterans of California.  At the Reitenbach Institute of Tae Kwon Do, we are working on a plan to incorporate the VFCC Fitness Training Certification Course as part of our programs for veterans and non-veterans. I have also made several referrals to government agencies because of his excellent company and program. It has been my privilege and an honor to work with VFCC" - Michael Kissinger , Business Development Director at Profit Builders Inc. and Reitenbach Institute and Army Special Forces Veteran

"Mr. Paschane and the VFCC Team have the leadership skills that exemplify true greatness. They are 100% committed to delivering the best fitness e-Learning experience at VFCC. Their enthusiasm and determination is an inspiration to me and so many other veterans. Chris and the VFCC team are doing something really awesome and I'm proud to be involved." -Gary Carpenter, Board of Directors for the Veterans Business Owners Association

“In the veteran's support world, you can certainly fine virtuous veterans helping veterans, really smart businessmen, and expert practitioners. Unfortunately, it impossible to find these all wrapped up in one veteran advocate company. Well, almost impossible...VFCC is proof that commitment to veterans, smart business development, and application of expert skills earned over decades of work CAN be found in one company. To top that off - their sense of ethics is nothing less than you'd expect from military veterans - peerless. If your education and/or veterans' initiatives are aligned with VFCC, you'll find no better partner, provider, or colleague!" -Andy Gibbs, US Army Veteran; Chairman at Patriot Enterprise Project; Chairman, Veterans Business Institute
